Educational Training Programs

Thirty years ago, it was common to see corporations dedicate resources to fund entire teams of highly experienced traffic and logistics managers to work exclusively within the supply chain responsibilities of their companies.

This is not nearly as prevalent today, as the budgets to support these professionals have often been reduced or eliminated, forcing these functions to be combined into hybrid positions managed by other departments like marketing, sales, finance, customer service, purchasing and other disciplines.

Predictably, there has been some performance fallout from this shift because so many “supply chain” employees have little or no exposure to the inner workings of their day-to-day logistics partners. They often simply do not possess, through no fault of their own, a broad base of knowledge, which would help to maximize their job effectiveness.

As in any other business discipline, where there is a knowledge gap there is a performance gap. And simply stated, performance gaps erode profit. But there are solutions available—through Franklin/Everett’s educational curricula Transportation Essentials™.
